T0AIDINW0RK0FTHEWAR MANY WOMEN RESPOND TO CALL FOR SERVICE Registration Will Continue Over the State Until October 17 Many Unable to Register Nebraska women showed their pa triotism last week by turning out and registering for sorvlce with the gov ernment, and, altho tho r.csult was most gratifying to officials and those deeply interested, it was evident that a great many did not thoroughly un derstand the magnltudo of tho under taking. Those who failed to get to tho polls last Wednesday nnd sign up tho card above, will be presented the opportunity until October 17 of doing so, and registration will be continued until that date. Officials ot tho Woman's depart ment of the state council ot defense aro still hard at work, and are urg ing women over tho state to do their duty in securing signatures to the registration card presonted above, which can be secured from any coun ty chairman. This vital work of registering overy Nobraska woman for patriotic service is to go on as speedily as possible in each county until every woman has been registered. Tho committee suggests the follow ing: For this great work and for nil other work of the Woman's Commlttoo of tho Council of Defense each county should have the following organiza tion: 1. Woman Chairman Woman's Committee. (Appointed by County of Defense.) 2. Woman Chairman of each pre cinct. (Appointed by Woman County Chairman.) 3. Woman Chairman ot Registra tion and woman chairman of each other department. (Appointed by Woman County Chairman.) 4. Registrars in each precinct. (Appointed by Chairman of precinct.) Tho efficient precinct organization as well as that of the County is most es sential sinco much of tho splendid work to be dono will increase as tho war goes on. This is the plan of or ganizationNation, State, County, Precinct. If your county is not fully organized in this way, please see that this is done promptly and that the names and addresses of all chalrmon aro re ported to headquarters. Further registration should be car riod on by precincts. Tho method is left to the county organization to de termine slnco the polling places were given to us for Soptombor 12th only. Nothing in this whole groat move ment is more vital than this splendid work of having every loyal woman cltlzon register for patriotic service. This spirit should bo taught in tho home, in tho school, in social life, in business, in short everywhere. The statement was mado at tho re cent convention ot tho Llvo Stock Breeders' association at Omaha that "moro food is wasted in Nobraska than is consumed." Dr. G. E.

Several amusing things wore reported. At 'two places the men making borings for soli samples wero takon by the farmers to be planting dynamite to destroy tholr crops, Shortage of Male Teachers. An acuto shortage ot male teachors, especially thoso employed in rural high schools and consolidated coun try districts Is reported by State Su perintendent Clommons, and becauso ot tho lack ot instructors it may be come necessary to discontinue somo of tho agricultural courses In somo of the districts In the stato.
